You just cannot make this up. Donald Trump’s grandfather Fredrich Drumpf illegally immigrated and was deported from his home country — back to America, which is how we became blessed with the orange-faced one’s antics. Well played Germany!
Not only is the nativist Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump descended from an immigrant mother whose native tongue wasn’t english, his German grandfather from Kallstadt was a draft dodger just like the candidate.

Frederich worked for a brief time as a barber in New York and then headed to Canada for the Klondike Gold Rush. There he ran what has been variously described as a restaurant and a whorehouse. He then returned with his fortune to Kallstadt, where he married a young woman named Elizabeth Christ who grew up across the street.
The bride in particular had no desire to leave their hometown. They might well have stayed there had German authorities not observed that Fredrick had departed the fatherland just before he was to have begun compulsory military service and returned just after he aged out.
Frederich became that very rare person who is deported from his own country.
Even the New York Times blew their fact check in this detailed 8-page feature story, instead saying that Trump was in fact Swedish back in 1984.
